I j.Our correwpondents opinions are their own; tlie responsibility of editorial on«s inaKes suriicient uallast for the editor's shoulders.] "FOWL" DEEDS OE LEVIN SUEEItAGETTES. (To the Editor). Sir,—This is the latest outrage; robbery of the poultry yard for alleged patriotic purposes. Daring deeds by gushing girls! lending young men on white wings to tlie world's war. Dainty damsels hiding their niodjstj in mail bags to bag the males. Do your share for the country. If you can't knit or sew for the .soldiem and are too lazy to learn, if you spend your pocket money in aids to complexion, etc., then do what is left by liTding your maidenly virtues behind tlie Post Office and send out white feathers. Hesitate not to sacrifice your best leather bed. Have no scruples at depriving your neighbour's folws of fiieir plumage; it is all for a good cause. Some heroines, weary and worn out H'itli weeping, have been hred witli the patriotic spirit. They light the enemy bravely with his own weaipons, and 6how the white feather themselves by skeltering in anonymity of :public offices, even as the Germans shelter: with an active, death-spitting machine gun in a Lied Cross van.—l am, etc., SENIOR OADET. Levin, August 30th, 1910.
